Quakers in Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick, the Black Country, Walsall, & Sutton Coldfield

Welcome

This is the website for the Area Meeting of Central England Quakers of the Religious Society of Friends – or as we are more commonly known, Quakers.

As Quakers, we see life as a spiritual journey and we seek a shared experience of the divine when we gather together in our meetings for worship, which are based in a still silence.  Everyone is welcome to attend these meetings, whatever their faith, or even if they feel they have none.

What is an Area Meeting? Quakers in Britain are organised in such a way that groups of our churches, or Local Meetings, in local areas come together to form a bigger meeting, which meets roughly every month to discuss wider issues and items of business, and also to worship together in a bigger group. Both this regular meeting and the area it covers are known as an Area Meeting.

As Central England Quakers we cover a wide area of the West Midlands including most of Warwickshire – we have local meetings in Birmingham, Coventry, the Black Country, Walsall, Sutton Coldfield and Warwick.

If you are new to us hopefully this website will answer many questions you might have; if you are an old hand, you can also use the inside section to keep up to date on all the area meeting business.
